Dumbest Pawn moment?

So everyone knows about pawns right? They talk to much, they're not too bright, and they look fabulous in clothes.

As I'm adventuring through Bitterback Isle, It's really standing out to me how dumb the Pawns can be when you need them most. For example:

-Running underneath a giant Cyclops's feet and then starting to cast a spell. SPLAT!

-Just standing there while a mimic box swallows me whole.

-As I hammer on the left d-pad to make my Pawn cast fire affinity so I can kill a Griffin and constantly saying "I cannot obey right now" and then casting the spell immediately after the Griffin is dead and screaming "It hates fire!!!"
